Easily Digested Apples.

To that large class of unfortunate
people who have painfully learned that
they have stomach, it may De interest
ing to know that some varieties of ap-
pies are harder to digest than others.
The very richest solid meated apples
are usually under this category. as even
when cooked thew are tough and
ieathery. The Spitzenberg when eaten
raw is highly favored, but unless
thoroughly chewed weighs like lead on
"a delicate stomach. So, too. in less de-
gree are the Baldwin, Russet and King
apple. The Fameuse, or Snow apple, IS
entirely different. 1t is neither rich
nor high favored, but has pleasant
taste, and when well ripened and held
in the mouth its pulp dissolvas without
chewing. 1t can be eaten with satistsc-
ton and with comfort afterwards by
neopie having poor teeth. TO this fact
and to its handsome appearance it owes
much OF its popularity.

The old axiom that "sheep are the
most profitable cattle farmer car
keep" is az true to-day as when Cato
made it, but, like all other branches oil
agriculture, it may be oyerdone.
Those old, dying, worthless apple
trees may now be cut down for fuel.
They have been an eyesore and incum-
brance long enough.
Have you stock enough to consume
all your hay and rough fodder2 If not,
better buy stock enough to use it all on
the farm, than sell the surplus, which
will go to enrich some other farm.
Every year should add something to
our farm improvements, and the farmer
who does not do it is behind the times
All improvements made, without incur
ring debts, may be set down among the
profits of farming.
There are MAN. under cover Jobs
which do not require immediate atten-
ton. These may be done rainy days;
If, on such days-and you may do it
occasionally you say to the hired man,
come into the house, rest awhile and
read the papers. he will like you all the
better, and will work all the better.
Now turn the burrows away from the
fence. They have been turned the
same way so long. that there is quite
ridge all along the fence, and some
of its corners are rotting foot under
ground. Turn the burrows the other
way awhile, and see if you can't get
the soil back where 1t belongs.
There are two ways in which moving
fields are greatly damaged by fall graz
ing Grass roots, to be healthy and
vigorous, need protection during the
cold weather; but if cattle are permitted
is feed off the aftergrowth, they are
without protection and must suffer &C
cordlngly. In feeding close to the
cattle pull up a great many
roots, start many more and leave them
for the frost to finish. Indeed, third
may be added, tramping on the ground
when it is soft.

AGRICULTURAL BITS

Paste in Their Hats.
THE TINE WHEN FRUIT is BEST
Soft Corn for Cows Bedding the
Barnyard-To OBTAIN Good
COws-Gene1 al Notes.
THE TINE WHEN FRUIT is BEST
Time When Fruits Best.

Every kind of apples or other fruit
has its period of greatest excellence.
With most varieties this time Is a short
one. He who would get most enjoy
ment out of his fruit must be well
posted as to its characteristics. The
Baldwin to our taste is usually dry,
coarse and poor, but there is about a
week or ten days in the history of each
weIl-grown specimen when it becomes
really juicy and good. The Greening is
pretty steadily good until it rots. The
Northern Spy is only good toward
spring. except sometimes in long late
falls it ripens before its proper time. 1t
is then poor keeper. While hard and
unripe, though fully colored, 1t has 1T
tie of the high favor which afterward
acquires. 1t is one of the many varIe-
tie That ripen best in the barrel, and it
is good even after rot has attacked one
side, some even think it then best. 1t
is evident then that its period of excel
lence is not a long one. But by under
the peculiarities of different
varieties, and keeping some in cold
storage ard others warmed, different
lots may be brought on in succession,
and the period when the fruit Is at It's
best may thus be protracted indefinitely.

Soft Corn for Cows,

We have long thought that much OF
the s-tc corn almost wasted in fattening
PORK might be more proftably fed to
COWS. The well-fed pig rejects the soft
green cob, which in this stage has a
good deal Of nutriment. His digestion,
contrary to popular belief. is not as
good as that of the COW. Give the fat
tenlng pig greater variety Of food, and
he will not only thrive better, but make
more healthlul, if not quite 50 fat, pork.
The corn SO judiciousiy fed TO mich
COWS will give tar better returus keeping
them from growing poor, as COWS are
apt to do at this season when not given
extra food.-Amtrican Cultivator.

Fall Sowing orLettuce.

Self-sown lettuce from the seed scat
tered in the fall when ripening is al
ways earlier than the earliest spring
planting. Our climate is pretty cold to
allow growth in winter, but lettuce is
hardy, and if it barely sprouts the seed
will push into strong growth early in
the spring. If covered with leaves the
bed will be better. Much seIf-sown let
tuce is poor because it comes from seed
on plants that run too much TO seed
and too little TO leaf. In any event fall
sown lettuce should not be used for seed
IS II IS more apt to run ont than that
kept growing vigorously all the ;ime.

Bedding the BARNARD.

Wherever straw is abundant q good
deal should be spread over the barn
yard to catch the droppings OF animals
during the winter If straw is scarce
some other material should be used.
Suds with as thin slice OF earth and rs
much grass as possible are even better
than stray. as they absorb the LIQUID
manure more perfectly. Though stock
should be stabbed at nights it should
nave the run of the barnyard at least
OF fine days for exercise, and the
manure it then D'akes ought not to be
lost.-Ame, ican CitttiVutor.

Buying Bran CheapIy.

At this season bran is always cheaper
than it is later in the winter, when all
feed becomes scarce. The millers are
generally crowded with wheat, and as
bran is bulky they are forced to sell
a i tie later, as wheat stacks diminish
they will naturally hold bran for a
higher price, and get it. If farmer
has good place to store bran, he can
save money by purchasing what he
wants in the fall or early winter.

To Obtain Good uox..

The best way to obtain good COWS is
to raise them. Then you become fully
acquainted with their dispositions and
habits. and know just how to manage
them, while, if you buy COWS raised off
the farm, these matters have got to be
harmed. II sometimes happens that
change of locality ana ownership affects
u cows condition. Raise the heifers,
especially those that have good. blood
and parentage.

O'Howdy on our way to luncheon you said !:
just in time, John; come take lunch with
us And then tonight, when we
found the train an hour late, you looked at
your watch, turned to me, and said in a
questioning way: Would you like cup of
coffeer And did want it: was tired and
a little hungry, but world have tainted
before would have accepted such an invi-
tation. And you went away a little bit
vexed with me and had your coffee and
bread and butter by yourself and didn't
enjoy it very much. In effect you said to
me: If you want cup OF coffee, if you
really want it, viii buy it for YOU You
are the best husband in the world, but do as
nearly all the best husbands do. Why do
you men seem to dole things out to your
wives when you fairly throw them to the

me heartily as you invite men? Why didn't
you say, Come, let's get little coffee and
something, and take me right along with
youg You wouldn't say TO man, Would
you like me to so and buy you cigar
Then why do you always issue your little
invitations to treats in that way to me. In
deed, indeed, my dear husband, if men
would only act toward their wives as
heartily, cordially. frankly as they do to-
ward the men whom they meet, they would
find cheerier companions at home than they
could at the club

Work to be Begun July 1.-The Only
Complete Works in the City.
The Commercial Fertilizer Company has
been fully organized with a capital of
$4,000, but that will be doubled in a few
days, and on the first of next month the
erection of the buildings will be begun. The
company has purchased ten acres fronting
on the river and adjoining the De Leon
Fertilizer Works, west of the Ocean Steam
ship wharves A mill, acid chambers and
warehouse, besides the other necessary build
ings, will be erected. About two and one
half acres altogether will be under roof.
The mill will be fitted with the most COM
plete machinery, and will have a capacity
of 100 to $50 tons of fertilizer day.
These will be the only complete fertilizer
works i'll Savannah; that is, the only works
containing all the departments necessary to
the business. The others are only mixers
as they buy their rock and their sulphuric
acid and only do the crushing and mixing
The Commercial works will have acid
chambers and will make more than enough
acid for use, so the company will be en-
abled to earn something by the sale of acid
as well as of superphosphateS and fertilizer
The rock will be brought from South Caro-
lima in barges and loaded in cars on an ele-
waited railway, which will take it into the
mill, thus reducing the cost to a minimum
The erection of the works will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, and the company will
begin operations as soon as they are COM
pleted.

The Southern and Florida.

The James Brothers, of Atlanta, will be-
gin the grading on the Georgia, Southern
and Florida railroad as soon as they can get
ready. Some time between now and July l
work will be begun. They have the entire
contract between Macon and Valdosta, ex-
cept some seven miles in Houston county,
which was let some time ago. Baker q
Pittman, of Townsville, will soon begin
getting ready the tinbers for the wood
work, and the road will be pushed forward
rapidly. The Valdosta Times says that
there are few thousand dollars of Val
dosta's subscription lacking yet, but sit
must be raised" That means that it will
be raised, and the road will be built as fast
as it can be done The construction COM
pany has sent out 1900 circulars to as many
millmen throughout the United States, in
viting them to come and invest in timber
lands along the line Of the new road, and
they are now beginning to write for fuller
details. President Sparks is enthusiastic
over the milling outlook on the new line.

A MUCH DESIRED RELIEF.

A Thunderstorm Causes an Agreeable
Change in the Weather.
The thunderstorm of yesterday afternoon
prevented the rising of the Thermometer to
the height of the previous day, toward
which it was slowly but surely creeping.
The morning was hot and dry, and when the
sun began pouring out its heat the atrnos-
phere became uncomfortable and as oppres-
sive as ON Sunday. Some portions of the
city caught breeze, but it was not of much
benefit, for it was hot enough to burn the
cheeks
At midday it was more uncomfortable
than it has been at any time during the
three warm days that have just passed
though the thermometer did not record the
highest temperature. The pavements and
sidewalks and the walls of the houses had
been soaking heat for three days and half
and they were about as thoroughly charged
with it as they,could welljbe There was but
little comfort to be found anywhere
Within the houses which the hot walls
converted into ovens, it was almost unbear-
able at times. The Park furnished no re-
freshment, for theie not leaf was stirring
unless it was blown by gust of the hot
wind, and a stroll to the river front failed
30 discover any fresh air stirring there
only now and then were they filed
BY a little puff. Everywhere it was
sxhausting, and when a slight nlurmuring
was followed by a heavier rumbling, and
the celestial artillery began to boom forth
she announcement of storm, it was hailed
with welcome The thunder was followed
by breeze that gathered strength as it
proceeded and gradually developed into a
pretty hard blow. For awhile the wind
travelled at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour, and it picked up and carried
rith it an enormous quantity of
lust Up the streets could be seen
treat masses of dust rolling along envelop-
ng everything and shutting out everything
rom view, but pretty soon few scattering
irops of rain began to fall, and then a light
ut steady shower began. 1t did not rain
sard but it kept it up for half an hour and
aid the dust and cooled the atmosphere.
The temperature had reached 97' but it
began to fall rapidly, and within forty-ive
minutes had fallen to ~. This was q local
storm and Charleston, Augusta, Pensacola
with similar ones. 1t was the
result of a rain movement
Chat originated in the Gulf on Saturday
hnd has been gradually working its way in
this direction. These local storms are its
foreruurcrs and it will be here about day
after tomorrow unless its force is spent in
local rains before it reaches here.
After the storm the ale was much cooler,
but so close that comparatively little COM
tort was derived from IL. The slIltrineSS of
the air was not calculated To make sleep
